Income Taxes

Note 15:           Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, retained earnings included approximately $17.5 million for which no deferred income tax liability had been recognized.  This amount represents an allocation of income to bad debt deductions for tax purposes only for tax years prior to 1988.  If the Bank were to liquidate, the entire amount would have to be recaptured and would create income for tax purposes only, which would be subject to the then-current corporate income tax rate.  The unrecorded deferred income tax liability on the above amount was approximately $6.5 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the provision for income taxes included these components:

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have not been audited recently by the Internal Revenue Service or the State of Missouri with respect to income or franchise tax returns, and as such, tax years through December 31, 2005, have been closed without audit.  The Company, through one of its subsidiaries, is a partner in two partnerships currently under Internal Revenue Service examinations for 2006 and 2007.  As a result, the Company’s 2006 and subsequent tax years remain open for examination.  It is too early in the examination process to predict the outcome of the underlying partnership examinations; however, the Company does not expect significant adjustments to its financial statements from these examinations.
